Few people have a “dream job.” Sure, you could have a great boss and be happy with the work you do, but most people aren’t lucky enough to be paid for doing what they truly love, and that’s fine. The weekend is your time, and you can use it to pursue those passions. Do you like to write? Play in a band? Build websites? Creative outlets can even help you at your 9-5, as that kind of thinking can bleed into your regular work. Most importantly, having a passion helps keep you sane — when the grind makes you want to give up, you always have your novel or whatever to lift your spirits.
